Morning Joe Trashes Trump-Kim Talks: “Deflection” from Stormy Daniels

God forbid President Trump should cure cancer and bring about world peace on the same day. How would Joe and Mika handle the horrible news?

We got a foreshadowing from today’s Morning Joe. Joe and Mika trashed the news that President Trump has accepted the invitation of Kim Jong-Un for talks. According to the pair, the announcement was nothing more than a “deflection” and a “distraction” from the Stormy Daniels story.

﻿

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Is this a deflection?

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Of course it’s a deflection.

MIKA: From Stormy?

JOE: Yes, of course, from Stormy.

MIKA: Who can keep their eyes off the whole Stormy situation?

. . .

JOE: A distraction, to change the headlines from Stormy Daniels —

MIKA: I think that’s exactly what it is.

. . .

JOE: He makes a decision on North Korea because of Stormy Daniels. And people can deny that all they want, but if you’re doing that, you’re in the tank for Donald Trump. Because it is painfully obvious that that’s exactly what’s going on.

MIKA: This is his pattern.

JOE: You know what? He did not want the Washington Post to have the words “Stormy Daniels” on the front page today. Guess what? He succeeded!
